Pretty Valley Creek, Bogong High Plains

This is the Pretty Valley Creek on the Bogong High Plains. It is the only outflow from Pretty Valley Lake and is populated with wild brown trout to around 350 grams in weight. The creek is ideal for fly fishing by beginners as the fish are plentiful and usually eager to get caught. Most fish are caught on small dry flies, the water being too shallow in summer for bait and lure fishing. The fish are or should be released unharmed after a photo or two.
